Real Madrid are prepared to sell Xabi Alonso and Alvaro Arbeloa this month.
El Confidencial says Real chiefs have not ruled out selling the senior duo - and both players know their futures are on shaky ground.
Real are pushing Napoli to revive their long-term interest in Arbeloa, having failed with a bid for the former Liverpool fullback at the end of last season.
The exciting emergence of Dani Carvajal has relegated Arbeloa to strictly a backup role in coach Carlo Ancelotti's plans.
Xabi is in a similar situation, where he will play second fiddle to new signing Toni Kroos for the coming campaign.
Though he signed a new two-year deal earlier this year, Xabi could be sold to a foreign club before the end of the month.
